Ethical

ManukaRx is committed to sustainability across its entire business, including product development, ingredient sourcing, and packaging. The brand produces its own manuka oil using a steam distillation process with minimal chemicals to protect the wild and planted harvest. They also promote biodiversity by maintaining “wild-harvest” manuka plantations. Their eco-friendly product formulations use minimalistic formulations with multifunctional actives, reducing the need for multiple additives and minimizing environmental impact.

Sustainable

ManukaRx prioritises sustainability in their packaging solutions by using curbside recyclable glass for 85% of their product collection and printing all carton packaging components locally to minimize shipping emissions. They implement minimalist packaging designs by using the same packaging across different product ranges to reduce their carbon footprint. ManukaRx encourages customers to recycle or repurpose their packaging and prioritises energy efficiency in their production processes. They also incorporate renewable energy by using solar power and collaborate with suppliers who share their sustainability values while monitoring their supply chain to ensure ethical practices.

Responsible

ManukaRx is committed to community engagement and education. They provide local employment opportunities as well as supporting community prosperity through harvesting from the harvesters' own tribal land. The brand also provides local landowners with a more lucrative and sustainable farming option while reducing cattle on the land to clear waterways. Furthermore they partner with the local Māori community, East Cape IWI landowners, and shareholders to ensure high-quality ingredients and regional prosperity. The brand prioritises transparency and accountability in all business practices and is on track to be BCorp certified by the middle of 2023.

Product reviews from our experts…

A nourishing and gentle cleanser that won’t strip the skin. The collagen-boosting ingredients and calming texture are well-suited for a dry or sensitive skin. Their focus on minimisation of chemicals as well as biodiversity shows a real commitment to consumer health.

The B-Corp certification that they are seeking as well as their various efforts within their local community and habitat is also impressive!

–Neha Hobson

This is such a lovely exfoliant to use! The tiny jojoba beads provide a gentle, yet really effective exfoliation while the Manuka and Rosehip oils leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. The dusty peach and gold packaging is simply divine too!

I really appreciate that ManukaRx considers the environment within the production process of their manuka oil – by maintaining “wild-harvest” manuka plantations. I am also impressed that the brand plans to be B-Corp certified this year!

–Dominique Scott

The granules are nice and fine so I like that it’s gentle yet effective. I love that it also contains lactic acid so all round it’s a very gentle exfoliator that would be suitable for lots of skin types. There is also a well thought out environmental and community impact from the creation of their products.
